New York Laws
Title 9 - Hunting
11-0927 - Field Trials.

1. No person shall hold a field trial except as provided in this
section or take part in a field trial not conducted in accordance with
the provisions of this section.

2. a. A field trial may be held on liberated game, liberated
artificially propagated game, led or confined game legally possessed, or
on wild game on a licensed dog training area at any time without
license, provided such game is not taken by shooting or otherwise
killed; and, on areas other than a licensed dog training area, such
field trials may be held on wild game from August 16 to April 15 without
license, or at such other times when licensed by the department from
April 16 to August 15.

b. A permit from the department is required for liberation of any
wildlife.

3. Wild game shall not be taken by shooting or otherwise killed in the
course of a field trial. Other game on which a field trial may be held
as provided in this section may be taken by shooting in the course of a
field trial, except a field trial held on a licensed dog training area,
provided a license for such shooting has been procured from the
department. Game so taken shall be immediately identified on forms
provided by the department until the game is finally prepared for
consumption.

4. Game so identified may be possessed, transported, bought and sold
at any time, without limitation by section 11-0917 of this article.
